Michigan Police Officer Saves Choking Woman Who Ran Red Light

Kalamazoo Police Officer Jason Gates pulled over a driver for running a red light but when he looked in the car, he found she was choking. Officer Gates asked the driver if she was ok, but quickly realized she was not able to breath. He slapped her back a few times with no success.

He then pulled the distressed female from the driver’s seat and did the Heimlich maneuver to dislodge the stuck sausage biscuit.

The recording from the police car dash camera shows the woman break down crying, pulling Officer Gates into an embrace, thanking him for saving her life.
